The Bavarian Beer 

Made by the Highland Brewing Company, 

Is a superior thick-niash food beer, by expcrst pronounced equal to imported, of which 
Wurzhurgor Hofhrau is the l)est known. No other brewery in M.-ussachusetts has the facilities 
for making this brew. 

Our Export and Pilsner 

Are light, infusion l)ecrs that stand in the front rank <>f AniL-riian Imagers. There can In; no 
better beer. The Highland beer is made on the highest point in Springfield, and is of the 
same grade. 

Why it is Best: 

Because, l — It is made from ])rimc malt and hops and purest water. 

Because, 2 — It is made under the direction of skilled practical brewers. 

Because, 3 — It is a matured beer, ripened properly by age, for the Highland Hrewcry 
has brewing capacity and the storage cajiacity to do this. 

Therefore Order It.

quiet, courteous f^entlciiian whose earnest manner ii the ex-

connected with the company no complaint has arisen of hi« 
prnmisin;; more, to obtain business, than his company !;»■>'>>>■' 
tccil to fulfil. 

Nlr. Kansehousen is an e.\pert in the voluminous intricarit s 
of life insurance, the merits and demerits of any |)olicy l)ci.i- 
apparent to the least informed, under his exposition. I In 
policy chiefly promulgated by his company is the eiuliiwiiu mi 
lorm which, accordintj to the law of this state, liccomcs 11 >.i 
forfeitable alter two annual premiums have been paid. A iii.ia

policy endowment age si.\ty, would pay an aiiiiiial premium 1 
$34.90, and at the end of twenty years would have paid m 
$698. .Should he then desire to surrender his policy f. 
company would allow him $053.37, his insurance thus . : 
him only $44.73 for the entire period. This, howevci. 1 
no allowance lor the annual dividend paid. The cash dii ; 
on this policy in 1894 was $379. In other words, at the ctic. 1 
twenty years the amount returned, added to the > ash dividcinl-.. 
paid annually, would niore than cover what had been paid 1.. 
The insurance thus becomes absolutely Kt:il>-'<, the coinpai.y 
payinji the beneficiary a bonus tor the privilege of insurin ; 
him. Mr. Kansehousen would be pleased to explain to anyoi.c 
contemplating the purchase of a policy, the advantages often I 
by his company. It is a matter worthy of mention that tl 
State Mutual has upon its books the names of more Massachii 
setts policy holders than any other Massachusetts company 
and has been in business fifty years, its conservative methods 
of investing its funds being the keynote of its succcs.s. 

Mr. Kansehousen served three years in the Second U.S. infantry, rck:iilais. enlisting in ift'-'.. and scrvinK 
till 1869. In December of that year was elected second lieutenant of Company K, Second M. V. M. He wa» 
also a member of the Pcabody Guards. Recently the captaincy of the new militia company was tendered 
him, but the engrossing press of business caused him to decline the honor. 

On the rolls of the Masonic and Odd Fellow memberships Mr. Kansehousen's name has long been inicribed. 
He is a member of Springfield Commandery, Knights Templar and of Hampden lodge of (Wd Fellows." 

Mr. Kansehousen's office is in Chicopee Bank building, corner Court Square.

THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 



T-*HK Nalional Association oi federal Veterans 
of the rebellion, dates from March, 1866. The 
primarj" meeting being held in Springfield, 111. 
The man who conceived the }»r^"d idea of a brother- 
hood of soldiers was Major Benjamin K. Steph- 
enson of Illinois. With his tent mate. Chaplain 
Riitledge oi his regiment, he often talked, in bivouac 
and march, of the desirability of some fornt of associa- 
tion that would pre.serve the friendships of .soldiers so 
closely allied in the fellowship oi suffering, when they 
were mustered out of service. The idea, with its 
possibilities of good, so mastered them, that they 
agreed that if spared they would together work out 
some project. They met at the time and place above 
mentioned, calling in conference prominent soldiers, 
and drew up a ritual and decided on the name. The 
first post was organized at Decatur, April 6, by 
Major Stephenson, who had been made commander of 
the department of Illinois. 

The purposes of the Grand .Army are well-voiced 
in the Declaration of Principles in the constitution, 
originally written by .Adjutant General Robert M. 
Woods, and slightly amended at subsequent conven- 
tions. 

ARTICLE I. 

Section 1. The .soldiers of the Volunteer Army 
of the United States during the Rebellion of 1861-5, 
actuated by the impulses and convictions of patriotism 
and of eternal right, and combined in the strong bands 
of fellowship and unity by the toils, the dangers and 
the victories of a long and vigorously waged war, felt 
themselves called upon to declare in definite form of 
words and in determined co-operative action, those 
principles and rules which .shall guide the earnest 
patriot, the enlightened freeman, and the Christian 
citizen in his course of action; and to agree upon 
those plans and laws which should govern them in a 
united and systematic working method with which, in 
some measure, shall be affected the preservation of the 
grand results of the war, the fruits of their labor and 
toil, so as to benefit the deserving and worthy. 

Sec. 2. The results which are designed to be 
accomplished by this organization are as follows: 

ist. The preservation of those kind and fraternal 
feelings which have bound together, with the strong 
cords of love and affection, the comrades in arms of 
many battles, seiges and marches. 

2nd. To make the.se ties available in works and 
results of kindness, of favor and material aid to those 
in need of as.si.stance. 

3d. To make provision, where it is not already 
done, for the support, care and maintenance of the 
widows of deceased soldiers and sailors. 

4th. For the protection and assistance of disabled 
.soldiers and sailors, whether disabled by wounds, 
sickness, old age or misfortune. 

5th. For the establishment and defense of the 
late soldiery of the United States, morally, .socially 
and politically, with a view to inculcate a proper 
appreciation of their .services to the country, and to a 
recognition of such services and claims by the Ameri- 
can [)cople. 

6lh. The maintenance of true allegiance to the 
United States of .America, based upon paramount 
respect for, and fidelity to the national constitution 
and laws, manifested by the discountenancing of 



whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, incite 10 insur- 
rection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs 
the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions, 
together with a defen.se of universal liberty, equal 
rights, and justice to all men." 

The organization of Grand .Army Posts now spread 
rapidly, in spite of the jealousy and criticism that 
attacks every new organization. By October depart- 
ments had been formed in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, 
Iowa and Minnesota, and posts in Ohio, Missouri, 
Kentucky, .Arkansas, District of Columbia, Massachu- 
setts and Pennsylvania. 

The first National Convention wa.s held at 
Indianapolis, Nov. 20, with 228 delegates from 
eleven states, and General Stephen A. Hnrlbut was 
made Commander-in-chief, and Major Stephenson 
Adjutant-General. Details for the harmonious 
organization of posts were perfected. 

The exciting political campaign of 1867-68, when 
General Grant was put forward for president against 
President Johnson, threatened the existence of the 
Grand .Army, as an attempt was made to involve it in 
politics as an organization. This led to an amend- 
ment to the constitution, to correct the popular 
suspicion that it was a secret political society, as 
follows : 

" That while it is the purpose of the Grand Army 
to secure the rights of these defenders of their country 
by all moral, social and political means in our control, 
yet this association does not design to make nomina- 
tions for office, or to use its influence as a .secret 
organization for partisan purposes." 

This freed the Grand Army from official identifi- 
cation with the various veteran political societies like 
the " Boys in Blue," " Soldiers' and Sailors' 
Leagues," " White Boys in Blue," " Con.servative 
Army and Navy Union," " Colored Soldiers' League" 
and other local clubs that politicians, veterans and 
others had fostered, often for personal advantage, and 
whose action was imputed to the brotherhood. 

The formation of posts went steadily on, but it 
was not for nearly a decade after the war, that veterans 
generally realized the benefits of belonging to such an 
organization. 

The Grand Army badge in its present symmetrical 
and eloquent design was a matter of slow evolution, 
not being perfected until 1886. For years the metal 
in these badges has been produced from remelted 
cannons. 

Of the work in detail of the Grand Army, its 
achievements by organized effort for the betterment of 
the condition of the soldiers, there is not room to tell 
in many times this space. Under Commander Logan, 
Memorial Day was established, and has since become 
a legal holiday in many of the states, through the 
brotherhood's efforts Soldier's Homes have been 
established in many of the states, and a National 
home at Leavenworth, Kansas: soldiers' monuments 
erected and historic battlefields marked; pension and 
other legislation for veterans secured; lost flags and 
records regained and preserved; and, most valuable 
of all, unfortunate and disabled soldiers, and the 
widows and orphans of soldiers helped and provided 
for, a work in which in latter years the Grand .Army 
h.is been ably seconded by the Woman's Relief Corps. 

The campfires of the Grand -Army now burn from 
ocean to ocean with more than 350,000 enrolled on the 
list. But its membership has reached its maximum, 
death is fast thinning its ranks, and ere many years 
the grand brotherhood of soldiers of the Rebellion 
will be but a name; yet for all time shall the prints of 
its work endure.

THE WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS. 



*T^ 1 1 1-1 first organization of women 
^ for active co-operation with the 
(irand Army of the Republic was 
formed at Portland, Me., in 1869, 
under the title of ]>osworth Relief 
Corps, auxiliary to Bosworth Post of 
that city, which is still in existence. 

The first State organization of these 
societies was perfected at Fitchburg, 
Mass., in April, 1879, under the title, 
Woman's Relief Corps. 

Propositions had been made in G. 
A. R. National Encampments to en- 
courage the formation of these societies, 
but nothing practical was done till 
1 88 1 , when Chaijlain-in-Chief Lovering 
urged upon the National Encampment 
the duty of giving them official recog- 
nition. A resolution was then adopted 
approving the work of the Woman's 
Relief Corps, and they were author- 
ized to add to their title "Auxiliary to 
the Grand Army of the Republic." 

In 1883 Commander-in-Chief Van 
Der Voort invited all existing Ladies' 
Auxiliaries to send representatives to 
Denver at the time of the National 
Encampment, and such a meeting was 
held there, Mrs. E. Florence Barker, 
President of the Woman's Relief 
Corps of Massachusetts, ])residing. It 
was voted to establish a National or- 
ganization, the Massachusetts plan of 
enlisting the services of all loyal 
women, as well as the kin of veterans, 
being adopted. 

The objects of the Association are : 

"To specially aid and assist the Grand 
Army of the Republic and to perpetuate the 
memory of their heroic dead. To assist such 
Union veterans as need oju: help and protec- 
tion, and to extend needful aid to their 
widows and orphans. To find them homes 
and em])loyment, and assure them of sym- 
|)athy and friends. To cherish and emulate 



the deeds of our army nurses, and of all 
loyal women who rendered loving service to 
their country in her hour of peril. To incul- 
cate lessons of patriotism and love of country 
among our children, and in the communities 
in which we live. To maintain true alle- 
giance to the United .States of America. To 
discountenance whatever tends to weaken 
loyalty, and to encourage the spread of uni- 
versal liberty and equal rights to all men." 

The jilan of organization of the 
(irand Army was followed, local asso- 
ciations to be called Corps, and State 
Association Departments. The growth 
was rapid, in 1884 155 corps and 
10,085 members, disbursing $1,154 
for relief ; in 1888 there were 1,717 
corps with 63,214 members, and 
$73,289 , disbursed for relief, and the 
growth since has been steady. But 
the work of the \\'oman's Relief Corps 
and its value to the G. A. R. cannot 
be estimated in figures. The cheering 
visits to the homes of the afflicted, the 
hours spent by the bedside of sick and 
dying Veterans, and their loving help 
to Veterans' widows and orphans can- 
not be estimated in words.

setts Department W. R. C. since its

THE IMMORTELLES OF MEMORY. 



Fed by dissolving ice and snows, 
The full Sangamon river flows; 
With many a curve and current free. 
It hastes impetuous, to the sea. 

On sloping banks, the cowslip'.s gold 
Doth oft in April cheer unfold; 
And all the fringes of the stream 
With deep'ning verdure, dip and gleam. 






Thither, l)eside the sparkling wave, 
We seek, in thought, an humble grave, 
And our poor offerings shall be 
The immortelles of memory. 

To him, whose name we bless, this hour. 

Was given a rare prophetic power; 

He wisely planned in generous mood. 

The strong and loyal brotherhood. 

In which the Veterans of our land 

Stand, " heart to heart, and hand to hand." 

He kindled first the flames divine 

Which now in countless Campfires shine; 

His voice first sounded the keynote 

Of that grand hymn, which, winged, doth float 

With message sweet from sea to sea — 

The music of Fraternity I 

After life's struggle bravely borne, 
Midway he faltered, weary, worn. 
And many sjjringtime suns have shed 
Their radiniicc fi'er that lowly bed; 
'llie marl)le shaft, the column high. 
His deeds may blazon to the sky. 
But history his name enshrines 
On pages fair, in glowing lines. 
And thousands gratefully commend 
Their benefactor, comrade, friend ! 
O generous soul ! O spirit brave ! 
Thou art not fettered by the grave ! 
In thought to-day, we strew for thee 
The immortelles of memory !

THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD. 



IN the Spring of 1636 the little band of set- 
tlers who formed the nucleus for the 
present city of 50,000 inhabitants, attracted 
by the low rate of taxation, and the toothsome 
Connecticut river shad, made a settlement on 
the banks of the river. The Boston settle- 
ment got ahead of us five years, but this 
would not have happened save for the uncer- 
tainty of trains at that time. 

For a consideration, much less than the 
land is held for now, two of the " ancient 
Indians of the Agawam," representing eleven 
other Indians, who claimed to be proprietors, 
conveyed to William Pynchon, Henry Smith, 
and Jehu Burr, their associates and heirs for- 
ever, a large tract of land on both sides of 
the river, including a greater part of the land 
now occupied by Springfield and West Spring- 
field. By 1637 they had settled their first 
minister, Rev. George Moxon, and in 1639 
built them a meeting-house, that stood on 
Court Square, near the site of the present 
First Church. The growth of Springfield was 
not at first very rapid, but soon its advantages 
became known, owing to judicious advertising, 
and settlers settled rapidly, early and late. 
In those days a man thought nothing of get- 
ting up at 3 A. M. to settle. 

In the year 1647 the General Court made 
very large additions to the territory of Spring- 
field, so that it included Westfield, Suffield, 
a considerable part of South wick, the whole 
of West Springfield, Holyoke and Agawam, 
on the west side of the river, and the present 
Springfield, Chicopee, Enfield, Somers, Wil- 
braham, Ludlow, Longmeadow, and Hamp- 
den on the east side. These towns were later 
set apart, and are conducting their own busi- 
ness, but should not forget that they were once 
part of the old stand. 

The Indians were friendly till 1675, when 
the King Phillip war broke out, and for many 
a weary month an occupation that had to be 
allowed for in the day's duties was plucking 
Indian arrows from the raiment and anatomy; 
but between these diversions the people still 
found time to plant corn and early settlers' 
potatoes. 

During the French and Indian wais, from 
1744 to 1760, in which new England bore 
so prominent a part, Springfield lost many 
citizens who went as soldiers and were killed. 

In the revolutionary war Springfield was 
a recruiting post, and a depot for recruiting 
stores. Works for repairing arms were carried 
on, which led to the establishment of the 
National Armory. 

In i8t2 the southerly part of llie old 
county was made into a new county, named 
HamjKlen, and Springfield was made the shire 
town. 'Ihc necessary court house was erected 
in 1 82 1. October i, 1839, the Western rail- 
road was opened to travel from Worcester to 
.Springfield. 



By 1850 the population of the town had 
increased so that it was proposed to incorpo- 
rate the town as a city, and two years later 
the charter was granted, the city lieing incorpo- 
rated April 12, 1852. 

The war spirit in Springfield during the 
rebellion, was if anything, more active than in 
other cities. Being the headquarters of the 
arms supplies, the people felt the pulse of war 
palpably. Companies for several regiments 
were raised here, and the loth, 27th and 
46th Massachusetts were encamped here be- 
fore going to the seat of war. Survivors of 
local companies hold clambake reunions every 
summer, that are famous in this part of the 
state. So long as these clambakes continue 
there will he survivors. 

Springfield had at the last census in 1890 
44,179 inhabitants; so it is safe to say that 
the population is now over 50,000, for it had 
been growing at the rate of 1200 or 1300 a 
year previous to that year. 

Springfield is called the "City of Homes," 
and the thousands of prospering occupants of 
those homes are proud of it as one of the 
handsomest and best conducted cities in the 
country. Its beautiful sites for houses, and 
superior schools draw many families here from 
distant points to make their homes, and new 
houses are building steadily. Owing to its 
diversified industries the city has suffered less 
from financial depression than most cities. 

The city has 44 schools, public and pri- 
vate, besides the International Y. M. C. A. 
Training School, the School for Christian 
Workers, and the French Protestant College; 
38 churches and one Jewish Synagogue; 
many religious and benevolent organizations 
and temperance societies; over 40 lodges of 
secret societies; and a dozen social clubs. 

The Electric Street Car system is consid- 
ered the best one in the country, and is fre- 
quently inspected by committees from cities 
near and far looking for a model. 

In points of expense of living, Springfield 
is a desirable city. The tax-rate is about $12 
per $1,000, the lowest in the state; gas is 
supplied at $1.40 per thousand feet, and the 
Electric Light Company has given the city 
lower rates than obtainable elsewhere. The 
City Water service supplies good drinkable 
water all the year around from high and low 
service reservoirs, having a storage capacity of 
2,305,000,000 gallons. 

The merchants are alive and awake, and 
their competition and the abundant transporta- 
tion facilities give our citizens their provisions, 
coal and other goods at lowest market rates. 

The city is on the line of the Boston & 
All)any railroad, is northern terminus of the 
New Vork, New Haven & Hartford, and 
New York & England railroads and southern 
terminus of the Boston & Maine, Connecticut 
River branch. It is a point easy to reach, 
and visitors are reminded that it is worth a 
visit in sunmicr to see it at its best.

THE UNITED STATES ARMORY. 



t /'^HEN General George"\Vasliington on 
lAl liis way to Boston, passed tlirough Spring- 
field, in October 1789 (stopping at the 
olcTlavern on^Court Square, sincf moved down 
Court Street to Water, and still standing), he 
saw and approved of the jiresent site of the 
Armory. The Armory was cstal)lished liy act 
of Congress passed in .^pril, 1794, and suitable 
buildings were soon constructed on the Hill 
and on Mill River. Just 100 years ago the 
manufacture of small arms was begun. From 
1795 when Uncle Sam began making muskets 
about 15 different models have been made. 
The first guns made were the French model, 
and the King's and Queen's Arm, English. The 
former had a small caliber, short barrel, light 
stock, and for those days 1795- 1809 was a 
handsome gun. The King's and Queen's arms 
were hea\'y, long barreled, large bored guns 
and favorites with the Indians who bought 
many of them, preferring, as one of them 
said, "big gun, big noise, big bullet." In 
1822 the first American model was made, with 
flint-lock, and in 1840 and 1842 new models 
were made improving on it. These were 
used in the Mexican war. 

The 1855 or Maynard Primer Model was 
used with good results by the regular army in 
frontier engagements with Indians. Of this 
model when the rebellion began only about 
40,000 had been made, many of which had 
been distributed to the army, so until the 
1862 model could be made and put in the 
field the volunteers had to take what guns 
could be got, Enfields, Austrians, Belgians, 
flint-locks, rifles, fowling-pieces, anything in 
the shape of a gun. 

The armory force was now greatly increased 
and new buildings added, till in 1864 there 
were 3,400 men employed and 1000 guns per 
day made. When Fort Sumter was fired on 
1000 guns per month were made, but the 
number was steadily increased till the same 
quantity was produced in twenty-four hours, 
the works running day and night. Often 
1000 guns were shipped daily to army quarter- 
masters in different parts of the country. The 
pay-roll at this time amounted to $200,000 a 
month. The present output of guns is sixty 
to 100 per <lay, 350 to 400 men being em- 
ployed. 



In 1873 the breech-loader model was per- 
fected, and numerous improvements since have 
made an arm that is unsurpassed. 

In tlic century the United Slates govern- 
ment has expended over $30,000,000 for 
manufacturing purposes, and fully $7,000,000 
for land, buildings, improvements, etc. 

Before the civil war there were four 
arsenals that were used solely for the storage 
of small arms and their appendages. In i860, 
under the superintendency of Captain George 
Dwight, the middle arsenal was converted 
into a workshop. Later in the war, under 
Major Dyer, as guns were shipped as fast as 
produced, the east and west arsenals were 
used as workshops. The main arsenal was 
built in 1846, under the superintendency of 
Col. Ripley, and has a storage capacity of 
about 300,000 arms, 100,000 upon each floor. 
(The total storage capacity in all the arsenals 
is 1,000,000 stands of arms.) It is of this 
that Longfellow wrote in his much-quoted 
poem : 

"This is the Arsenal. From floor to ceiling, 
Like a huge organ, rise the burnished arms; 

But from their silent pipes no anthem pealing 
Startles the villages with strange alarms. 

Ah ! what a sound will rise, how wild and 
dreary. 
When the death-angel touches those swift 
keys; 
What loud lament and dismal miserere 

Will mingle with their awful symphonies!" 

Entering the grounds at the southern corner 
the visitor passes the uniformed guard at the 
gate-house, up a short hill to the plateau 
where most of the buildings connected with 
the Armory are situated. Keeping to the 
right he passes the officers' quarters, the 
barracks, the guard house, the middle arsenal, 
and the east arsenal, all on the south-east side 
of Union square. Northerly is the long 
building occupied by the ordinance store- 
keeper, the general offices, the milling 
department, etc. Along the north side of 
the square fronting Federal Street, are the 
machine, stocking, tiling, polishing, carpenter 
and paint shops. Across Federal Street, 
looking east is the experimental department. 

Some of these buildings, beside the arsenal 
and tower, are open to the public during 
working hours, the condition being a pass 
procured at the office. The tower commands 
a magnificent view of this city and vicinity. 

The present commanding officer is A. Mor- 
decai, colonel ordnance department, and the 
post has a garrison of 30 men.

Why Not? 



While there may have been a time, when business 
life and its workings were simpler and competition 
less active, that the advertiser could personally look 
out for this department of his business fairly well, 
that time has gone. To-day the man who would keep 
up with the procession, with chances of forging 
ahead of it, must employ methods which are based 
on scientific principles — must have an expert in this 
as in other branches of his business — to assist him in 
securing the publicity which he desires. It costs a 
trifle more, of course, but it is false economy to pinch 
the advertising appropriation. Advertising is the life- 
blood of business. In this line I can help. You may 
see it more clearly if for a trial trijj you
